IDABEL, Oklahoma -

Authorities say a father and his two young sons drowned in a river in far southeast Oklahoma over the weekend.

Law enforcement officers say the family's boat overturned on a fishing trip on the Little River south of Idabel.

Authorities recovered 32-year-old Steven Lycklama's body Sunday afternoon and the body of his oldest son, Devin, age 8, was recovered Monday morning.  The man's 4-year-old son, Dalton, is still missing and presumed drowned.

The father's body was found about 3:30 p.m., but troopers didn't know there were two children with him until a family member notified them about four hours later.

The Oklahoma Highway Patrol says the children were not wearing life jackets.

The family was from Valliant, Oklahoma.

The Associated Press contributed to this story.
